Chapter 1433

"I can guarantee that no matter what happens, I will never betray you!"

Miss Hongxiu pleaded.

However, upon hearing the voice, Liu Zheng laughed.

"Ning Chen is a direct descendant of the Ning family; following me would be a waste of his talent.

Moreover, his character is too weak.

He is insufficient to support the rise and fall of a family.

Miss Hongxiu, you should return to Shanzhai soon.

Otherwise, there will likely be danger!"

Liu Zheng said slowly.

A gleam of sharp intent appeared in his gaze.

Clearly, he was preparing to strike.

Just at this moment.

Miss Hongxiu knelt on the ground.

Tears rolled down as she sobbed,

"Your Majesty, the Han Emperor, this servant wishes to follow Your Majesty and serve at your side forever!"

After speaking, she crawled to Liu Zheng's side.

She truly loved Liu Zheng to the point of obsession.

But the other party had rejected her, which left her heartbroken.

However, just after her words fell.

A palm strike came down upon her forehead.

Instantly, Miss Hongxiu lost consciousness.

"Someone! Carry her back to the military camp!"

Liu Zheng ordered.

He wanted to find a quiet place to interrogate the people of the Ning family.

And just at this moment.

The commander of the Imperial Guard spoke cautiously.

"Your Majesty, look at the Ning family.

Should we kill them all?

These people have utterly abandoned all morality; to seek Qian Cai, they actually harmed the common people.

They truly deserve to die!"

The voice of the Imperial Guard commander rang out.

He was a fierce general of the Great Han.

He had followed Liu Zheng to battle on the battlefield back then.

Therefore, his feelings toward the common people were extremely positive.

"Do not act; imprison them first.

Wait until I have investigated everything before deciding on their punishment; it is not too late!"

Liu Zheng spoke.

Although these people deserved to die, there was no need to rush.

If I rashly execute them,

it is likely to stir up public resentment.

After all, the Great Han has only just occupied the Northern Frontier.

If this were to cause a great disaster,

it would be a case of gaining nothing but losing much.

Upon hearing the voice,

the Imperial Guard commander could only agree.

After all, this was Liu Zheng's order, and he dared not disobey.

Soon, soldiers were dispatched to imprison the people of the Ning family.

The Ning family has committed countless evils, too numerous to record; such people deserve to be cut into a thousand pieces.

However, just at this moment.

Liu Zheng remembered the secret of the treasure that Miss Hongxiu had mentioned.

He immediately spoke.

"Xiang Yu, I have something to ask you.

Have you heard of the Nine Provinces Treasury?"

Upon hearing the voice,

Xiang Yu frowned slightly, then spoke slowly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I once heard someone mention this rumor; it seems to be a treasure stored within the Sheng Sect in the Eastern Wasteland.

However, I do not believe it.

After all, no one knows how many years the Sheng Sect has been hidden.

Moreover, the rumor of the Nine Provinces Treasury only circulates within the long river of history.

It cannot be taken seriously at all."

"Mm, I am also aware of this matter.

However, since there are rumors, there must be signs indicating it.

Within the Ning family's treasure vault, something exists.

We might as well go search for it.

If there truly is a treasure, it would also be saving countless common people.

Do not worry about suffering retaliation.

What do you think!"

Liu Zheng said slowly.

Solemnity appeared in his eyes.

And just after his words had just fallen.

Xiang Yu spoke respectfully.

"As you command, I will lead the great army there immediately!"

"No need, I will go there personally.

You are responsible for holding the military camp.

Remember, if the Ning family members surrender.

Then pardon them!"

"Boom!"

After Liu Zheng's voice fell, he vanished from the spot.

He prepared to search that Nine Provinces Treasure Vault.

If it truly was as Miss Hongxiu said, then it was a vast fortune.

If not, it was still worth him taking the risk.

And just after Liu Zheng left.

Xiang Yu ordered the great army to station at the Ning family.

At the same time, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

He moved toward the other side.

At this moment, within the entire Luoyang City.

All the forces' people were gathered.

They all dared not delay.

After all, this battle concerned their own life and death.

If they were victorious, they might obtain immense benefits.
